“It hangs on his body like a curse.” – It’s this phraseology that makes your work such a pleasure to read.

To capture so much emotion in such a short space is no easy feat, but you make it seem so natural. The empathy, on both their parts, just pours from this piece. One of the best stories I’ve read in quite some time. Bravo!

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 20:17:53 +0000http://www.skycycler.com/?p=107#comment-165Beautiful. I love the use of words like “fungal puffs”, “rucking the fabric”, “blows his lopsided fringe out of his eyes”, even “knock up some sandwiches”. But these skills are put to such good use. There’s a lot to admire here.

Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:08:09 +0000http://www.skycycler.com/?p=107#comment-163That’s a deeply touching story…the courage and willingness to connect despite (because of?) vulnerability. Thanks.
